Domains of Physical Activity in Relation to Stiffness Index in the General Population.
2021
Background Regular exercise training represents an important modifier of arterial stiffness (AS). Therefore, sex‐specific relations between domains of physical activity (PA; commuting, domestic, and leisure‐time PA, including active sport and occupational PA) with AS were investigated. Methods and Results Stiffness index by digital photoplethysmography was investigated in 12 650 subjects from the GHS (Gutenberg Health Study). Self‐reported PA was evaluated by the “Short Questionnaire to Assess Health‐Enhancing Physical Activity” and reported as activity score peer week, being a combined measure of duration, frequency, and intensity of PA. Multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrat…
Quadrivalvular non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis in a patient with clear cell cervical cancer
2022
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare finding, which is mostly associated with malignant diseases leading to hypercoagulability. We report the case of a severe quadruple valve non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis in a patient with clear cell cervical cancer.
Management of Oral Anti-Coagulation in Patients with Heart Failure-Insights from the ThrombEVAL Study
2018
AbstractPatients with heart failure (HF) are frequently anti-coagulated with vitamin K-antagonists (VKAs). The use of long-acting VKA may be preferable for HF patients due to higher stability of plasma concentrations. However, evidence on phenprocoumon-based oral anti-coagulation (OAC) therapy in HF is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the presence of HF on quality of phenprocoumon-based OAC and the subsequent clinical outcome. Quality of OAC therapy and the incidence of adverse events were analysed in a cohort of regular care (n = 2,011) from the multi-centre thrombEVAL study program (NCT01809015) stratified by the presence of HF. To assess the modifiability of outc…
Association of Global Longitudinal Strain With Clinical Status and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure.
2021
IMPORTANCE: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an emerging echocardiographic biomarker of cardiac function in heart failure (HF). Evidence from large-scale studies comprehensively investigating GLS for its association with clinical phenotypes and mortality in asymptomatic and symptomatic chronic HF is limited. OBJECTIVE: To assess the factors associated with GLS and its prognostic value in patients with chronic HF. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The observational, prospective MyoVasc cohort study enrolled 3289 individuals with asymptomatic to symptomatic HF between January 17, 2013, and April 27, 2018. The median follow-up was 3.2 years (interquartile range, 2.0-4.0 years). Participant…
